Twilight Eclipse = Biggest Midnight Opening Of All Time!!!

TWIHARDS!!! The most dedicated fans of all time made it happen --Twilight Eclipse opened last night at midnight bringing in a wopping $30 Million in sales, which makes this vampire vs. Werewolf film the biggest midnight movie opening of all time!!  Pretty impressive Rob, Kristen and Taylor! 

Twilight Eclipse

The Eclipse movie beat out previous record holder in it's own Twilight saga category, New Moon-- which made $26.3 million during its midnight premiere back in November 2009. In addition to all the Vampire madness, last night's opening also broke the record for best-selling IMAX midnight release, at $1 million. The previous record holder for IMAX was Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, which took in $959,000!

The much anticipated Eclipse saga is the 3rd out of 5 installments-- and with 3 down and 2 left to go you can bet that Twihards are already making bedazzeled signs for the 'Breaking Dawn' premiere which will be in November 2010! On a scale of 1-10 how excited are you for the Breaking Dawn film!?

    1st Twilight movie I've seen, bought into the hype this time and broke down and bought a ticket. I think my user name says enough about how much I liked this movie. Watching New Moon tonight then Twilight tomorrow. Guess I made it like the star wars saga. End to beginning. GO TEAM EDWARD!!!!

    I know...that was so crazy! They had to put in a 3am showing for some theaters. I cannot believe how many people were out to see the movie at midnight!

    Not surprising. I heard good things about the movie. They are a lot better than the books and the fans love it! So many people turned out for the movie.
